Line 102:
* [[It's Okay If It's You]]: Regis Hastur has a thing for Danilo Syrtis, who is very reluctant due to a major case of homophobia (preferring to maintain their current [[Heterosexual Life Partners|relationship]] ) until {{spoiler|Regis finally manages to get him into bed, after which he does an abrupt 180 and becomes quite possessive; it's implied that Danilo is ONLY interested in Regis to the exclusion of any other [[Single-Target Sexuality|potential relationship.]] }}
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: The origin of the strong psychic powers, and also used in ''The World Wreckers.''
* [["It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It"]]: Bard's laran enables him to force a woman to want him sexually (they're not happy about it afterwards), and this is something he cites frequently.
* [[Kissing Cousins]]: almost every single freaking relationship on Darkover that doesn't involve an alien species or a Terran is a case of cousins marrying.
* [[Law of Inverse Fertility]]: Ellemir, who loves children and very much wants her own, finds it very difficult to carry a child to term. Her twin sister Callista, who is not especially interested, has no trouble at all. The result is a bunch of children running around the estate who all call Ellemir "Mama," regardless of their biological parentage. (IIRC, even some children not born to Ellemir, Callista, or either's husband do this. She just mothers any child in range.)
